MUFG Stadium

MUFG Stadium is Japan’s landmark national stadium and a striking example of contemporary architecture shaped by traditional influences. Designed by architect Kengo Kuma, it is distinguished by its layered roof, extensive greenery and wooden details made with materials sourced from all of Japan’s prefectures. With a capacity of approximately 67,750 spectators, the stadium accommodates major athletics competitions, football and rugby matches, concerts and other international events.

The three-tier seating bowl provides clear views of the field and creates a powerful atmosphere as crowd noise travels around the stands. Seats in nature-inspired shades, spacious concourses, accessible facilities and event-specific food and drink outlets contribute to a comfortable visitor experience. Broad eaves and open sections of the structure encourage natural airflow while visually connecting the monumental venue with the surrounding greenery.

The stadium is located at 10-1 Kasumigaokamachi, Shinjuku City, Tokyo, Japan. The closest access point is Kokuritsu-kyogijo Station on the Toei Oedo Line, with Exit A2 approximately one minute on foot from the stadium, while Sendagaya and Shinanomachi stations are about a five-minute walk away. Stadium parking is not available to general visitors without specific authorisation, making rail and subway services the most practical choices; broader transport options across Tokyo are covered further down the page.

Tokyo, Japan’s pulsating metropolis, is far more than a business and technology hub — it’s also one of the world’s most exciting stages for top-tier sports and concerts. The city blends futuristic energy with deep tradition, so attending an event easily becomes a complete experience: from neon-lit districts to calm temples and tucked-away streets full of local flavor. Visitors often highlight the sense of order, safety, and outstanding organization, which keeps the stay relaxed even when the city is at full speed.

Tokyo takes pride in an infrastructure that makes getting to arenas and stadiums simple and predictable. The Tokyo Metro and Toei Subway networks cover key areas across the city, and together with JR lines — especially the JR Yamanote Line — moving between districts and major hubs is fast and stress-free. Whether you arrive by train at Tokyo Station (a central gateway for many intercity connections) or through the massive transit complex of Shinjuku Station, access to event venues is excellent. If you’re flying in, Haneda Airport and Narita International Airport provide clear options for reaching the city, with efficient links toward the center.

Take the chance to explore Tokyo’s sightseeing side before or after the event. Stroll along the Sumida River, or step into the historic atmosphere of Asakusa and the Sensō-ji temple, then switch gears with the urban buzz of Shibuya Crossing and the polished storefronts of Ginza. For a broader view of the city, many choose walks around the Imperial Palace or a visit to modern waterfront areas like Odaiba, where Tokyo unfolds at a different, more relaxed pace. That way, a concert night or match day becomes part of a bigger journey through one of the most diverse cities in the world.
